Die Günstlinge der Unterwelt

This is the 3rd book in the Terry Goodkinds sword of truth series.

The storyline revolves aroud a group called the blood of the fold and the continued conflict between our main characters Richard, Kahlan and Zed and the Imperial order that is hellbent on taking over the world.

The blood of the fold is a extremist group that wants to abolish magic in the world and thus poses a threat to Dhara, and all those like Richard, Kahlan and Zed that use magic, Meanhile the Imperial Order lead by Emperor Jagang is determiend to dominate the world.

Jagang is a dreamwalker able to take control of your mind in your dreams and bend you to his will

Overall I did enjoy this book, but there were some drawbacks, specifically in one part where we see some anti LGBTQ ideology present. The character involved tries to rationlize but does not work very well.

With regard to overall story line and plot I did enjoy seeing continue world building and introduction of new characters and magics to the world that has been built and created. I like how Terry Goodkind has arranged for the Prophecies to be fulfilled and using plot or narratives to make it appear as if the prophecies will be fullfilled by means other than how they are done.

good read overall, not great but not terrible 3.5 stars for me
